Today I honored to teach the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative Startup Investor Pitch Workshop, in collaboration with World Denver and IREX, and working with entrepreneurs Don Novak of Propaganda Labs and Danny Effron of Show Labs.

• Thoughts on receiving and integration feedback
• Practice on handling rejection
• Perspectives on American investors and international entrepreneurs pitching in the U.S.
• Value Proposition
